For those unaware, the tablet is OnePlus' first attempt at the best Android tablets. It aims at a higher tier that currently has limited options. The OnePlus Pad comes with a unique 7:5 aspect ratio screen.
The tablet is powered by Dimensity 9000 chipset. It features a uniquely placed rear camera in a circular module hosting a 13MP sensor. The rear camera is capable of recording 4K videos. On the front, the users get an 8MP selfie shooter for video calls.
The exciting aspect of the OnePlus Pad is its massive 9500mAh battery that supports the company's 67W fast charging. The tablet also features four surround sound speakers with Dolby Atmos certification.
With the new OnePlus Pad's global availability, the recently released OPPO Pad and Xiaomi Pad 6 series, Vivo Pad 2, the upcoming Pixel tablet that will come after, and the already excellent tablets that Samsung makes, we might soon see more enticing options in the Android tablets market, which has been relatively sparse for quite some time.
